This time I am having a hard time reconfiguring my video card, which was fine but is not anymore after the last system update I've made. Gnome session goes up as usual but the resolution is not fine and monitor complains about not being in the recommended mode. My video driver is an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) and somebody has already updated the section on the Gentoo wiki http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon#Kernels_.3E.3D3.0.0 informing that there might be incompatibilities concerning the RV350 firmware. I just don't have enough understanding of the video related parts of the system to tweak and fix this issue. How should I proceed when I have a problem of this sort? How do I know what is the video backend in my system? Is Xorg the only one possible? What can I do to fix this problem?
